"We anticipate a full recovery from (Vanden Bosch)," Schwartz said. "There are a lot of players that have played with what he has and we anticipate a good recovery for all three of those guys. (Vanden Bosch) had a bulging disc in his neck. It was one that we didn't think would go away with just time. It needed to be surgically repaired."

Rookie defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh didn't suffer an injury on Wednesday but he did take a painful hit in the wallet. Suh was fined $15,000 by the league for his unnecessary roughness penalty against Bears quarterback Jay Cutler. Suh was flagged for what referee Ed Hochuli called a forearm to the back of the head, but television replays show that Suh pushed Cutler in the back with his open hands.

"I do intend to appeal it," Suh said. "My mentality right now -- and I owe it to my teammates, the fans and the former players and my coaches -- is to play as hard as I can. All I was trying to do was play as hard as I can. As Cutler was trying to make a play, I was trying to make a play."

The league is apparently applying Rule 12, Section 2, Article 1 (c) which states that players are prohibited from "striking, swinging, or clubbing to the head, neck or face with the heel, back, or side of the hand, wrist, forearm, elbow or clasped hands."

Again, replays show that Suh hit Cutler with two open hands in the back.

"It's not my concern to make that judgment. I'm just going to continue to play as hard as I can and make plays," Suh said. "I want to be known as a player who always plays hard at all points in time, is aggressive and gets after the ball and tries to help his team win."

"Did he get fined? Are you serious? Man, $15,000 for a push down? If he doesn't push Cutler down, Cutler would've scored," Delmas said. "If you're a defensive lineman watching a quarterback run by, I guess you've got to hold him up until a smaller guy like myself can come over and take him down."﻿
